Hello,
These (two) devices already works with OpenWrt, sharing the exact same
board design for the router part, differing only by the modem part.
However, after some time I discovered, that generic board data hampers its
RX performance. Replacing the BDF with one extracted from stock firmware
(same as for MF286C) caused about 60% increased throughput in iperf3 test
during reception, transmission being unaffected - with a QCA6174-based m.2
card as a link partner.
The throughput went up from around 240 to around 360Mbps.
Now to the questions from the wiki page [1]:
* description for what hardware this is:
- it is a QCA9563 based board
- QCA9563 is used for 2.4GHz (so out of concern for ath10k)
- QCA9888 is used for 5GHz band
* origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you
downloaded)
- Extracted from the vendor firmware by myself.
* ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)
- QCA9888 hw2.0
+ bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=ZTE-MF286AR.bin

* attach the actual board file (board.bin)
- The name of the file is equal to the id string in the board-2.bin
(minus the ".bin")
With kind regards,
Lech
